"This book, written by a professor who is also a business trainer and musician, is a theory and research-based (but practical) 'how-to' guide for speakers, trainers, and educators who wish to use instrumental and vocal music to enhance the learning potential and entertainment value of their presentations. Much like employing a graphic to make a point in a slide presentation, a presenter might choose a recording of a musical piece to produce any one of a number of effects such as developing a positive learning environment, creating a sound metaphor for an idea, or transporting the audience to a different time and place. Designed for the scholarly but non musician reader, [this book] includes criteria for selecting specific music to meet the requirements posed by particular situations and audiences. Speakers, trainers and educators may all find something of value here."National Association of Medical Communicators News"Research has already proved music to be a powerful teaching tool which maximizes the brain's natural learning abilities. Lenn's book gives us practical tools and techniques that bring the theories to life. This book should overcome any hesitation you might have about using music in training."From the Foreword by Margaret Parkin, author of Tales for Trainers"I find your book very valuable, both personally and as an HR practioner. It is a tool one can really benefit from reading and using."André Vermeulen
